6/13/12 Update - .DAT Mining Discussion

[Damane]

I've seen yes and no answers and I'd like to ask if anyone has confirmed it or not. Do you still even with the mark KI need 9 feathers to reserve Odin v1? Or has it been changed to 3 to reserve? Reserve. Not participate, but to reserve the v1 chamber.

to my understanding you only need 3 to reserve it (but I am not 100% sure)

[Hyshio]

Yea thats the same answer Ive been getting. But no one has confirmed it.

[SargentRemora]

Hey Einherjarers,

We just wanted to clarify that you will now only need a Valkyrie Feather Key Item from each of the three Wings in order to reserve Odin's Chamber. The "Elite Einherjar" title along with the Feathers from each Wing will be necessary to enter the new Level 99 Odin's Chamber.

Source. So no more feather mules.

Yea I just saw this. Perfect timing if I must say so. Ok then back to work updating the servers resource files for windower.

[Byrthnoth]

He's wrong about requiring Elite Einherjar though.

[EjinCaitsith]

There's no more 10,000 needles, it seems. Or, at least, we didn't see it.

We basically went in banking on the O.chain PLD's ability to hold 9 Valkyrie's at once (if they spawned, because there was no data) and it didn't pan out, so that's why I was looking at holding.

Uses Geirrothr after 50%, not sure if it becomes a normal move or uses every 2-2.5 min. We ate 3-4 in the process of taking it from 50 to 37%, that coupled with the fact we were only excepting 1 add every 10%(our add pld was /war), but it was summoning 3 at a time and not every 10%, made it impossible to manage.

Cast Kasutra after 50%, we saw it 2-3 times, landed for 350~ damage on me.

Edit: Saw the Kai description on BGwiki, that's probably right, so I deleted that part of my post.

Rear Lasers... does the horse shit lasers?

oh god. So is there a fixed % he pops adds now or not? 10000 needles + adds makes it hard beyond 50% with 18 people only...

Also, FU @ SE for not dropping the timer on Limbus, it's gonna be a pain in the ass to waste runs farming once we run out of metal chips and ABC stock. Similarly for Einherjar, I really want to try Odin again and I don't feel like waiting til Sunday ~_~. Maybe there's still hope, though, I mean last night NA primetime there was literally nobody but us doing Temenos, Apollyon, or Einherjar, so it's not like we ra

ABC's are easily solo farmable, people were not doing it because no market for em, and not everybody will go for ultima2/omega2.

[Lyramion]

...yeah BSTs NINs n shit in every area for the next few weeks blocking it!

AoE Kaustra like Pil or just single target? Anyone gonna be surprised when he casts Death below 25%? I mean, one of those accessories we think he drops does have Resist Death on it... lol

[Michelob]

He's wrong about requiring Elite Einherjar though.

Am I the only one thinking this is a glitch? They explicitly said that people were going to be required to have that title. Maybe just the lamp bearer needs to have the title or maybe they just glitched out the Einherjar title situation as a whole? Considering people killing Odin v1 weren't getting titles, it wouldn't surprise me.

[InsaniacTHF]

Zantetsuken: Kai has some amount if not full hate reset and it's cone. Not 100% sure on this but it seems to do 95% of your max HP. It's not a throat stab type move though. If you have less than 95% hp when it hits it will kill you. He says "My blade shall cleave through thy hollow shell of valor!" right before he uses it. The charge is only 1-2 seconds though so you don't have much time to react.

Edit: Actually he just seems to talk some random smack about is blade doing something or other to you.

[Byrthnoth]

Our NIN took about 95% damage from it, but he said he was surprised it didn't outright kill him because he was wearing Rancor Collar. It must be similar to Tarsal Slam.

[InsaniacTHF]

Yeah it doesn't seem effected by any dt +/- gear or migiwari/scherzo/ae. I think stoneskin absorbed some of the damage though.

BLU > all for limbus soloing.

Odin v2 is not very difficult, a fully buffed add party and some ranged/other DD's for Odin himself could clear it without much issue. Throw up PD while everyone is still alive before Kaustra/10k spam at lower hp and you have an easy win.

If it does the stupid intimidate move, consider your ship sunk.

someone needs to figure out if the 10k needles is done on a distance from Odin itself or from Odin's current target. And position accordingly. You know, things we used to do back when the game had some kind of difficulty (even if it was barely any).

He mentioned ranged damage. Rangers are not affected by intimidation (they are fearless). I'm pretty sure the 10k needles is centered around Odin, not the target. The move was 15' back at 75. You can stand @~14' and dodge most of his tp moves. You'll still get hit with dispel though and most of his spells.

Scherzo/EA/Migawari all work on it as well.
